Garlic Parmesan Roasted Shrimp (Print version)

Juicy sheet-pan shrimp roasted with garlic, parmesan, herbs, olive oil, and lemon in about 18 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the shrimp

01 - 1 1/4 lb (565 g) large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 1/3 cup (30 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
07 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For finishing

09 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
10 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
11 - Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with oil.
02 - Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. This helps the garlic parmesan coating stick and keeps the shrimp from steaming.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
04 - Spread the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in one even layer. Leave a little space between pieces for better roasting.
05 - Roast for 6-8 minutes, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and firm. Toss immediately with lemon juice and parsley, then serve with lemon wedges.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served hot right after roasting.
02 - Cook time can vary by shrimp size, so check early.
03 - Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
